Keeping you Informed

Communicating with the media and the community is important in ensuring that the Peterborough Police Service remains accountable, transparent and responsive to the public we serve. The Media Relations and Communications Coordinator is responsible for providing the media with accurate and timely information while complying with all applicable legislation relating to Young Offenders and the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

Each year our Service issues hundreds of media releases on a variety of subjects ranging from serious incidents to crime prevention and safety messages. Along with the more traditional forms of media, our Service is keeping our citizens informed and up-to-date via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and MyBeat. One of the roles of the Media and Communications Coordinator is the design and layout of our Service’s documents including our Annual Report.

Crime Stoppers

Crime Stoppers is a civilian, non profit, charitable organization that brings together the community, the police and the media in the fight against crime.

Crime Stoppers provides citizens with a vehicle to anonymously supply the police with information about a crime or potential crime of which they have knowledge. Cash rewards are offered to people who call the program and their information leads to an arrest.
